Trip with Kevin P and Dave S.\u00a0 This was a plan B or C as we decided not to cross the river for Skogan and we were looking for something that we all had not done given the time, etc.\u00a0 We drove to Nakiska and walked the service road around the right side of the ski area until the last switch before going back left to the midstation building. Instead we followed a old logging road to the right which goes over the drainage\/creek which is the ski area boundary.\u00a0 There are two bridges here and we followed the road around right and down a bit.\u00a0 There is a trail that goes off the left and up the West Fisera ridge which we noted for the way back as I had skied up this way before.\u00a0 Fisera Ridge AT ski\u00a0Trip report<\/a><\/p>\n

(Note there is another ridge closer to the ski area boundary which has thick trees on it which I call East Fisera ridge)we went down the road a bit but decided to strike out on a game trail and with very little bushwcking we followed game trails West to open steep grassy areas on the left side of the East ridge of Colembolla which faces the highway.\u00a0 We followed the ridge up with only a couple of easy scramble moves on the odd rockband. One golden Eagle floating around and warm sunny calm weather.\u00a0 Beautiful views in all directions at the top\u00a0as this is a high mountain and well placed.\u00a0 We went down the south ridge\u00a0to a col and then up to several rock bands.\u00a0 Down along left side to weakness and up to a scree bench which lead to a second rock band.\u00a0 Down along left side to weakness which lead to a ramp which we followed back right up to ridge and up a weakness to the summit.\u00a0 We then followed the ridge to the subsidiary summit and then down to the col with Allan.\u00a0\u00a0 We went down into Marmot bowl and up a trail to top of the ridge(west Fisera ridge?)\u00a0where the weather instruments were.\u00a0 The summer hiking trail comes out here but we missed it and we bushwacked over to the East Fisera ridge and then\u00a0bushwacked our way down in thicker trees and deadfall to the two bridges and out to ski area.\u00a0 It all looks different than in the winter.\u00a0\u00a0I now think we had skied up the trail on the\u00a0west ridge and then down between the two ridges.\u00a0 \u00a0A leisurely 8 hr RT\u00a0with breaks,\u00a0etc.<\/p>\n
